High Seeding Rates and Low Soil Nitrogen Environments Optimize Weed Suppression and Profitability in Organic No-Till Planted Soybean

Frontiers in Agronomy, 2021
No-till planting crops into rolled-crimped cover crops can improve soil health while reducing labor and fuel requirements compared with traditional tillage-based production. However, little information is available to help farmers optimize the management

Tillage system and seeding rate effects on the performance of Brassica carinata

GCB Bioenergy, 2021
Brassica carinata, a nonfood oilseed crop, is used to produce renewable fuels because of its high oil content and favorable fatty acid profile. Production in the southeastern United States is relatively new, and information on agronomic management ...

Rye grain response to nitrogen fertilizer and seeding rate

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2022
Cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) seed production is of increasing value in the United States, yet basic agronomic management practices specific to rye grain production have not been established. Field research trials were conducted near Tifton and Midville,

A grass–legume cover crop maintains nitrogen inputs and nitrous oxide fluxes from an organic agroecosystem

Ecosphere, 2023
Legume cover crops are central to an ecological nutrient management approach that can reduce nitrogen (N) losses from agriculture. Diversifying cropping systems with a legume–grass cover crop mixture could further reduce N losses by increasing soil N ...

Soil carbon and nitrogen data during eight years of cover crop and compost treatments in organic vegetable production

Data in Brief, 2020
Data presented are on carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) inputs, and changes in soil C and N in eight systems during the first eight years of a tillage-intensive organic vegetable systems study that was focused on romaine lettuce and broccoli production in ...

Pennycress as a Cash Cover-Crop: Improving the Sustainability of Sweet Corn Production Systems

Agronomy, 2020
Commercial sweet corn (Zea mays convar. saccharata var. rugosa) production has a proportionally high potential for nutrient loss to waterways, due to its high nitrogen (N) requirements and low N use efficiency.

Sowing and Harvesting Measures to Cope with Challenges of Cover Crops Experienced by Finnish Farmers

Agronomy, 2023
Farmers may promote the cultivation of under-sown cover crops (CCs) in various ways without jeopardizing the yield of a cash crop. With this survey, we aimed to understand how Finnish farmers manage possible challenges with under-sown CCs.

Cover crop and plant density in seed production of white clover (Trifolium repens L.)

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2017
Seed crops of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) are usually established with a cover crop. Provided sufficient light, white clover may compensate for low plant density by stoloniferous growth.

Soil microbial biomass and enzyme data after six years of cover crop and compost treatments in organic vegetable production

Data in Brief, 2018
Cover crops and compost are organic matter inputs that can impact soil health in tillage-intensive, high-input, organic vegetable production systems in the central coast region of California.

The effects of cereal rye cover crop seeding rate, termination timing, and herbicide inputs on weed control and soybean yield

Weed Science, 2023
AbstractGrowers have been experimenting with cover crop termination timings to maximize weed suppression and potentially reduce herbicide inputs in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. A field study was replicated three times from 2018 through 2021 in South Charleston, OH, to evaluate different management strategies involving a cereal rye (Secale cereale ...
